CURRENT MISSION

BoB: "To see the entire world and meet everyone along the way."

OK, fellow CS'ers, for ease of communication, and coordination, my cell 541-373-1266...

ABOUT ME

BoB is an ultra friendly, outgoing, type A personality guy that loves traveling and meeting people. I am at home in a room full of strangers. I AM REALLY EASY TO HOST because all I need is ENOUGH FLOOR SPACE TO THROW DOWN MY SLEEPING BAG. I PREFER this to couches because when I'm not couchsurfing, I'm camping, and prefer a hard surface. I have a mini grocery store in the back of my car, and am on a very strict diet, since various foods are actually life threatening for us to eat (GMO's, etc.)

PHILOSOPHY

BoB: "God is in control, no longer me."
"Everyone we meet is by design and we hope to learn something from everyone and reciprocate with them."

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

BoB:UPDATE: ON VACATION IN HI. BACK BEG. JULY 2019. THAN, WELCOME, COUCHSURFERS!!!

Last Winter I moved to Key West, FL., accepted Tennis Coaching position High School boys and girls Tennis teams. Now that I'm back, you can sleep on my comfy sofa or there's a regular bed in front fully windowed enclosed bedroom.

Retired at 49, from Business Consulting. Re-retired in 2012, and moved to the lovely Oregon Coast in mid-Feb. Now that I'm more off the road, rather than on, I would like to pay back the awesome Couchsurfing community by offering my place to responsible members.

About CS'g at my place: If you'd like to camp on the lovely, wooded, and quiet 2 acres, that's fine. I am in the constant process of remodeling my house(s), so if clutter and remodeling bother you, kindly do not request to stay, and than complain later, as some have done. Otherwise, welcome to Brookings, the Jewel of the Southern OR. Pacific Coast!!!

BoB: By bringing the obscure non-touristy places in the USA to people that can't / haven't seen or experienced them for themselves. I've got lots of interesting stories and pictures from around the country that I've been compiling for over 15+ years.

NOTE: To all you friendly people who've been interested in meeting or hosting me, but haven't gotten a response, please don't hesitate to call/text me 541-373-1266 (Bob's cell) because reception is sporadic.- Thanks
